Supported by funding from Making Ways, we are excited to announce our first event from an upcoming programme of curated exhibitions and events aiming to support the development of emerging and early career artists.
tonsillitis sux! is an all singing, all dancing performance exploring the insides & outsides of Ollie Musson’s body. With the mouth as a portal to the body, the performance will explore the effects of illness, trauma & gender dysphoria. How do we care for ourselves whilst struggling against medical gate-keeping? How do we rest when the rest aren’t resting? How do we keep fighting whilst looking after our broken, leaking bodies?
Ollie Musson is a queer, non-binary performer who was born in Sheffield and is currently based in Reading. Their current research is based in experiences of chronic tonsillitis, and physical illness as a manifestation of emotional and psychological stress. Ollie explore’s what it is to live in an ill and gendered body through an abject, drag inspired show.
The performance will take place on Friday 30th November. Doors open at 7pm, the performance will start at 7.45pm, free entry. Approximate duration 30 minutes.
Womp Open Call forms part of Making Ways, a new programme supported by Sheffield Culture Consortium through Arts Council England to showcase, celebrate and develop the exceptional contemporary visual art produced in the city.
